[0043] The technical solutions in embodiments of the present disclosure are clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, described embodiments are only a part of embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all embodiments. Based on embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0044] In order to intelligently control electronic devices and improve the user experience, an electronic device control method is provided in embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the control method may include following exemplary steps.

[0045] In one embodiment, the electronic device controlled may be an electronic device with a rollable screen as shown in FIG. 2A. The rollable screen may be made of a flexible material which may be bent to form the rollable screen as shown in FIG. 2A; and the screen may be expanded or contracted by control. The electronic device in FIG. 2A may control the rollable screen to expand to the form shown in FIG. 2B. The electronic device in FIG. 2A may also control the rollable screen to contract to the form shown in FIG. 2C.

[0046] In one embodiment, the electronic device may also be the electronic device with a retractable screen as shown in FIG. 3A. The retractable screen may be made of a retractable material and controlled to expand or contract the screen in all directions. The electronic device in FIG. 3A may control the retractable screen to expand to the form shown in FIG. 3B. The electronic device in FIG. 3A may also control the retractable screen to contract to the form shown in FIG. 3C.

[0047] At 101, whether the second device is in the target region may be determined based on the position information of the second device.

[0048] In one embodiment, the second device may be a stylus, a touch-control glove or other devices.

[0049] In one embodiment, the position information may include the spatial position of the second device, the contact position and the pressure position when the second device and the electronic device perform touch screen operations.

[0050] The electronic device may establish connection with the second device through technologies such as UWB (ultra-wideband technology), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and / or the like. After the connection is established, the electronic device may obtain the spatial position of the second device in real time through the connection. The electronic device may obtain information such as the contact position, the pressure position and the pressure magnitude when the second device and the electronic device perform touch screen operations through a pressure sensor.

[0051] At 102, in response to the determination that the second device is in the target region, a target operation may be determined at least based on the position information.

[0052] The target region may be a region where the electronic device may receive the position information of the second device. In response to the determination that the second device is in the target region, the target operation may be determined based on the position information.

[0053] For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, the target region shown in FIG. 4A may be the shaded portion, which may be the region formed by the maximum receiving distances that may receive the position information of the second device at the left, right, top and bottom of the electronic device.

[0054] For another example, as shown in FIG. 4B, the target region in FIG. 4B may be the shaded portion, which may be also the region formed by the maximum receiving distances that may receive the position information of the second device at the left, right, top and bottom of the electronic device. The second device A may be in the target region. The second device A may be in the region within the upper screen expansion boundary (i.e., the maximum position that the screen of the electronic device may expand). Therefore, the spatial position of the second device A may be determined based on the position information of the second device A, and then the screen of the electronic device may expand to the spatial position where the second device A is located. The second device B may not be in the target region, such that no processing may be performed. It should be noted that in response to that the second device is within the maximum receiving distance above the electronic device but exceeds the screen expansion boundary, the screen of the electronic device may be controlled to expand to the screen expansion boundary. Similarly, in response to that the second device is within the maximum receiving distance below the electronic device but exceeds the screen contraction boundary (i.e., the minimum position that the screen of the electronic device may contract), the screen of the electronic device may be controlled to contract to the screen contraction boundary.

[0055] In one embodiment, the spatial position of the second device may be determined based on the coordinate system established by the electronic device, and the electronic device may establish the coordinate system with the lower left corner of the electronic device as the origin. The spatial position of the second device may be determined based on the coordinates of the second device in the coordinate system. In other embodiments, any other method capable of determining the spatial position of the second device may also be used.

[0056] For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the target region in FIG. 5 may be the shaded portion, which may be also the region formed by the maximum receiving distances that may receive the position information of the second device at the left, right, top and bottom of the electronic device. The electronic device may be 6 cm wide and 15 cm high. The coordinate system may be established with the lower left corner of the electronic device as the origin. Therefore, the position of the second device A in the coordinate system may be (7, 16). Based on above-mentioned data, the spatial position of the second device A may be determined to be 1 cm to the right and 1 cm above the electronic device. The second device B may be not in the target region and exceed the maximum receiving distance of the electronic device. Therefore, the spatial position of the second device B cannot be determined.

[0057] It should be noted that it may also configure that the target operation may be determined based on the position information of the second device in response to determination that the second device is in the target region for more than a preset time or determination that the trajectory formed by the movement of the second device in the target region conforms to the trajectory of a preset gesture.

[0058] At 103, the target operation may be executed, and the target operation may be configured to control the electronic device to change attitude.

[0059] For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, the electronic device may detect that the second device is in the target region; the position information of the second device may be obtained; and based on the position information, it may determine that the spatial position of the second device is at the position shown by the dotted line in FIG. 6A and within the screen expansion boundary of the electronic device. Therefore, it may determine that the target operation may be to expand the screen of the electronic device to the spatial position where the second device is located. As shown in FIG. 6B, the screen of the electronic device may expand to the spatial position where the second device is located.

[0060] In above-mentioned solution, whether the second device is in the target region may be determined by obtaining the position information of the second device; in response to that the second device is in the target region, the target operation may be performed to change the attitude of the electronic device, which may realize intelligent control of the electronic device and significantly improve the user experience.

[0061] An electronic device control method is also provided in one embodiment pf the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, the control method may further include following exemplary steps.

[0062] At 201, based on the position information of the second device, the first trajectory of the second device in the target region may be determined. The first trajectory may be determined according to the first manner. The first trajectory may be the spatial trajectory of the second device.

[0063] In one embodiment, the first manner may be obtaining the spatial position of the second device through the position information of the second device and determining the first trajectory of the second device in the target region based on the spatial position of the second device.

[0064] The first trajectory may be completed when the second device is not in contact with the electronic device (that is, the second device does not touch the screen of the electronic device).

[0065] At 202, based on the position information of the second device, the second trajectory of the second device in the target region may be determined. The second trajectory may be determined according to the second manner. The second trajectory may be the trajectory of the second device being in contact with the electronic device and moving relative to the electronic device. The first manner may be different from the second manner.

[0066] In one embodiment, the second manner may be obtaining the pressure information between the second device and the screen of the electronic device through the position information of the second device and determining the second trajectory of the second device in the target region based on the pressure information between the second device and the screen of the electronic device.

[0067] The second trajectory may be completed when the second device is in contact with the electronic device (i.e., the second device touches the screen of the electronic device).

[0068] The target operation may be determined based on the position information in response to a satisfaction of at least one of the following conditions: determining that the first trajectory is a preset trajectory and determining that the second trajectory is a preset trajectory.

[0069] In response to that the first trajectory is the preset trajectory, the second trajectory is the preset trajectory, or both the first trajectory and the second trajectory are the preset trajectory, the target operation may be determined based on the position information.

[0070] It should be pointed out that the target operation may be determined based on the position information also in response to that the third trajectory formed by combining the first trajectory and the second trajectory is the preset trajectory. The preset trajectory corresponding to the first trajectory, the preset trajectory corresponding to the second trajectory, and the preset trajectory corresponding to the third trajectory may all be same or different. In addition, there may be multiple preset trajectories corresponding to the first trajectory, multiple preset trajectories corresponding to the second trajectory, and multiple preset trajectories corresponding to the third trajectory; and different preset trajectories may correspond to different target operations.

[0071] For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the shaded portion in FIG. 8 may be the target region; and the preset trajectories corresponding to the first trajectory may be two, that is, a straight line in an upward direction and a straight line in a downward direction. The first trajectory of the second device A may be determined to be the straight line in the upward direction, such that the target operation may be determined to expand the screen of the electronic device to the spatial position where the second device is located (i.e., the upper dotted line position in FIG. 8). The first trajectory of the second device B may be determined to be the straight line in the downward direction, and the spatial position of the second device B after movement may be below the screen contraction boundary, such that the target operation may be determined to contract the screen of the electronic device to the screen contraction boundary position (i.e., the lower dotted line position in FIG. 8).

[0072] In above-mentioned solution, by setting the preset trajectory, when determining that the first trajectory of the second device is the preset trajectory, the second trajectory is the preset trajectory, or both the first trajectory and the second trajectory are the preset trajectory, the target operation may be determined based on the position information of the second device, which may effectively prevent the screen of the electronic device from being moved incorrectly when the second device is detected incorrectly and further improving the intelligence of controlling the electronic device.

[0073] An electronic device control method is also provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. Determining whether the second device is in the target region based on the position information of the second device may include that, in response to determination that the second device is at least in the first region based on the position information, determining that a determination result may characterize the second device to be in the target region. The first region may not include the display region of the electronic device.

[0074] As shown in FIG. 9A, the shaded portion in FIG. 9A may be the first region, which may be the region formed by the maximum receiving distances that may receive the position information of the second device at the left, right, top and bottom of the electronic device. The first region may not include the display region of the electronic device.

[0075] In one embodiment, the second device may not be in contact with the screen of the electronic device, such that the position information of the second device may be obtained by receiving the signal of the second device through the connection established with the second device.

[0076] In above-mentioned solution, the position information of the second device may be obtained by receiving the signal of the second device through the connection established with the second device, and it may determine that the second device is in the first region based on the position information. Therefore, the second device may be determined to be in the target region, and corresponding target operation may be determined based on the position information, which may further improve the intelligence of controlling the electronic device.

[0077] An electronic device control method is also provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. Determining whether the second device is in the target region based on the position information of the second device may include that, in response to determination that the second device is at least in the display region of the electronic device based on the position information, determining that the determination result may characterize the second device to be in the target region.

[0078] As shown in FIG. 9B, the rectangular region in FIG. 9B may be the display region of the electronic device. In FIG. 9B, the shaded portion illustrates a preset distance, which may be the farthest distance that the electronic device may expand to, and the preset boundary may be the boundary of the electronic device without expansion. The display region of the electronic device may change along with the expansion or contraction of the electronic device.

[0079] In one embodiment, when the second device is in contact with the screen of the electronic device, the position information of the second device may be obtained through a touch screen signal of the second device on the electronic device.

[0080] In above-mentioned solution, the position information of the second device may be obtained through the touch screen signal of the second device on the electronic device, and it may determine that the second device is in the display region of the electronic device based on the position information. Therefore, the second device may be determined to be in the target region, and corresponding target operation may be determined based on the position information, which may further improve the intelligence of controlling the electronic device.

[0081] An electronic device control method is also provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 10, executing the target operation may include following exemplary steps.

[0082] At 301, the target position may be determined based on the determination result, and the determination result may be whether the second device is in the target region.

[0083] In response to that the second device is in the first region, the target position of the second device may be determined by the spatial position of the second device.

[0084] In one embodiment, the spatial position of the second device may be determined based on the coordinate system established by the electronic device, and the electronic device may establish the coordinate system with the lower left corner of the electronic device as the origin. The spatial position of the second device may be determined based on the coordinates of the second device in the coordinate system. In other embodiments, any other method capable of determining the spatial position of the second device may also be used.

[0085] For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the target region in FIG. 5 may be the shaded portion, which may be also the region formed by the maximum receiving distances that may receive the position information of the second device at the left, right, top and bottom of the electronic device. The electronic device may be 6 cm wide and 15 cm high. The coordinate system may be established with the lower left corner of the electronic device as the origin. The position of the second device A in the coordinate system may be (7, 16). Based on above-mentioned data, the spatial position of the second device A may be determined to be 1 cm to the right and 1 cm above the electronic device. However, the second device B may be in the target region, which may exceed the maximum receiving distance of the electronic device. Therefore, the spatial position of the second device B cannot be determined.

[0086] In response to that the second device is in the display region of the electronic device, since the second device is in contact with the screen of the electronic device, the target position of the second device may be directly obtained through the touch screen signal of the second device on the screen of the electronic device.

[0087] At 302, the electronic device may be controlled to change attitude, such that the edge of the display region of the electronic device may be adjusted to the target position, where the position information may at least include the movement direction of the second device, and the adjustment direction of the edge may be related to the movement direction of the second device.

[0088] For example, as shown in FIG. 11A, the shaded portion in FIG. 11A may be the first region. Based on the spatial position of the second device, the target position of the second device may be determined to be the position shown in FIG. 11A, which may not exceed the screen expansion boundary; and the second device may move to the target position through the first trajectory shown in FIG. 11A (the movement direction is upward). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11B, the screen of the electronic device may expand to the spatial position where the second device is located.

[0089] For another example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the shaded portion in FIG. 12A may be the first region. Based on the spatial position of the second device, the target position of the second device may be determined to be the position shown in FIG. 12A, which may exceed the screen contraction boundary; and the second device may move to the target position through the first trajectory shown in FIG. 12A (the movement direction is downward). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12B, the screen of the electronic device is contracted to the screen contraction boundary.

[0090] In above-mentioned solution, the target position of the second device may be determined based on the determination result. Next, the electronic device may be controlled to adjust the edge of the display region to the target position based on the movement direction of the second device. The expansion and contraction of the electronic device may be intelligently controlled by the movement direction of the second device, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0091] An electronic device control method is also provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 13, the control method may include following exemplary steps.

[0092] At 401, in response to determination that the electronic device is in the first state, the electronic device may be controlled to change attitude, such that the edge of the display region of the electronic device may be adjusted to the target position. The first state may characterize that the output apparatus of the electronic device may perform the first operation.

[0093] For example, as shown in FIG. 14A, the edge of the display region of the electronic device in the first state may be not adjusted to the screen expansion boundary (the dotted line in FIG. 14A). At this point, the electronic device may be controlled to perform the first operation to adjust the edge of the display region of the electronic device to the target position of the second device.

[0094] At 402, in response to determination that the electronic device is in the second state, the electronic device may be controlled to change attitude, such that the edge of the display region of the electronic device may be adjusted to the target position. The second state may characterize that the output apparatus of the electronic device may perform the second operation. The first operation may be different from the second operation. The display region after performing the first operation may be greater than the display region before performing the first operation; and the display region after performing the second operation may be smaller than the display region before performing the second operation.

[0095] For example, as shown in FIG. 14B, the edge of the display region of the electronic device in the second state may be not adjusted to the screen contraction boundary (the dashed line in FIG. 14B). At this point, the electronic device may be controlled to perform the second operation to adjust the edge of the display region of the electronic device to the target position of the second device.

[0096] It should be noted that the screen expansion boundary and screen contraction boundary of the electronic device may be not on all four sides or only on one side, which may be determined based on the function of the electronic device.

[0097] In above-mentioned solution, boundaries may exist when the electronic device performs the operation of expansion or contraction. Therefore, when the electronic device is determined to be in the first state, the electronic device may be controlled to perform the first operation to adjust the edge of the display region of the electronic device to the target position of the second device. When the electronic device is determined to be in the second state, the electronic device may be controlled to perform the second operation to adjust the edge of the display region of the electronic device to the target position of the second device. In such way, the electronic device may be prevented from being damaged by the output apparatus continuing to operate when the electronic device cannot perform the first operation or the second operation, whereby improving the stability and usability of the electronic device control method.

[0098] An electronic device control method is also provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 15, the control method may at least further include one of the following exemplary steps.

[0099] At 501, after the target operation is completed, the target trajectory corresponding to the first trajectory may be displayed in the display region of the electronic device after the attitude is changed.

[0100] For example, as shown in FIG. 16A, the second device may move in the display region of the electronic device and draw the trajectory A. After the target operation is completed, the target trajectory corresponding to the trajectory A may be synchronously displayed in the display region of the electronic device.

[0101] At 502, in response to that the target operation is being performed, the target trajectory corresponding to the first trajectory may be displayed in the display region that changes with the attitude of the electronic device. In response to that the target trajectory cannot be fully displayed, the target trajectory may be stored. The target trajectory may be the mapping trajectory of the first trajectory on same horizontal plane of the output apparatus of the electronic device.

[0102] For example, as shown in FIG. 16B, the second device may move in the display region of the electronic device; and after drawing trajectory A, the second device may continue to move and draw the trajectory B. The target operation may be to expand the screen of the electronic device. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16C, the target trajectory corresponding to the trajectory may be displayed in the expanding display region of the electronic device. As shown in FIG. 16D, in response to that the electronic device has expanded to the maximum and cannot expand further, and the second device may continue to move and draw the trajectory C. The trajectory C may exceed the display region of the electronic device, such that the trajectory C may be stored.

[0103] It should be noted that the target trajectory may be the mapping trajectory of the first trajectory on same horizontal plane of the output apparatus of the electronic device. In response to the height of the second device changes, it may indicate that the first trajectory has been drawn.

[0104] In above-mentioned solution, by obtaining the first trajectory drawn by the second device on same horizontal plane as the output apparatus of the electronic device, corresponding target trajectory may be determined and synchronously displayed in the display region of the electronic device, and the target trajectory may be synchronously displayed in the display region added after the screen of the electronic device is expanded, thereby improving the usability of the electronic device. By storing the trajectory that exceeds the display region of the electronic device after the electronic device expands to the maximum, when the screen is not large enough to meet the user's drawing needs, the content drawn by the user after leaving the screen of the electronic device under set circumstances may be saved for the user to process subsequently, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0105] An electronic device control method is also provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 17, the control method may at least further include one of the following exemplary steps.

[0106] At 601, in response to determination that the second device is in contact with the output apparatus of the electronic device, the trajectory may be determined using at least one of the first manner and the second manner.

[0107] Whether the second device is in contact with the output apparatus of the electronic device may be determined by whether the screen of the electronic device receives the touch screen signal. In response to determination that the second device is in contact with the output apparatus of the electronic device, the trajectory of the second device may be determined by the spatial position of the second device; or the trajectory of the second device may be determined by the touch screen signal of the second device on the electronic device.

[0108] For example, in response to determination that after the second device is in contact with the output apparatus of the electronic device, the second device moves to the edge of the output apparatus and continues to move outside the edge of the electronic device, the trajectory of the second device may be determined by combining the touch screen signal of the second device on the electronic device and the spatial position of the second device. The trajectory of the second device may also be determined entirely by the spatial position of the second device.

[0109] At 602, in response to determination that the second device is in the display region of the electronic device, the first manner and the second manner may be switched.

[0110] In response to determination that the second device is in the display region of the electronic device, the second device may be in contact with the output apparatus of the electronic device.

[0111] For example, as shown in FIG. 18A, the second device may be in the display region of the electronic device, and the second device may be in contact with the output apparatus of the electronic device. At this point, the trajectory of the second device may be determined by the touch screen signal generated by the contact between the second device and the output apparatus of the electronic device.

[0112] For another example, as shown in FIG. 18B, the second device may be in the display region of the electronic device, but the second device may not be in contact with the output apparatus of the electronic device.

[0043] The technical solutions in embodiments of the present disclosure are clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, described embodiments are only a part of embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all embodiments. Based on embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0044] In order to intelligently control electronic devices and improve the user experience, an electronic device control method is provided in embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the control method may include following exemplary steps.

[0045] In one embodiment, the electronic device controlled may be an electronic device with a rollable screen as shown in FIG. 2A. The rollable screen may be made of a flexible material which may be bent to form the rollable screen as shown in FIG. 2A; and the screen may be expanded or contracted by control. The electronic device in FIG. 2A may control the rollable screen to expand to the form shown in FIG. 2B. The electronic device in FIG. 2A may also control the rollable screen to contract to the form shown in FIG. 2C.

[0046] In one embodiment, the electronic device may also be the electronic device with a retractable screen as shown in FIG. 3A. The retractable screen may be made of a retractable material and controlled to expand or contract the screen in all directions. The electronic device in FIG. 3A may control the retractable screen to expand to the form shown in FIG. 3B. The electronic device in FIG. 3A may also control the retractable screen to contract to the form shown in FIG. 3C.

[0047] At 101, whether the second device is in the target region may be determined based on the position information of the second device.

[0048] In one embodiment, the second device may be a stylus, a touch-control glove or other devices.

[0049] In one embodiment, the position information may include the spatial position of the second device, the contact position and the pressure position when the second device and the electronic device perform touch screen operations.

[0050] The electronic device may establish connection with the second device through technologies such as UWB (ultra-wideband technology), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and / or the like. After the connection is established, the electronic device may obtain the spatial position of the second device in real time through the connection. The electronic device may obtain information such as the contact position, the pressure position and the pressure magnitude when the second device and the electronic device perform touch screen operations through a pressure sensor.

[0051] At 102, in response to the determination that the second device is in the target region, a target operation may be determined at least based on the position information.

[0052] The target region may be a region where the electronic device may receive the position information of the second device. In response to the determination that the second device is in the target region, the target operation may be determined based on the position information.

[0053] For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, the target region shown in FIG. 4A may be the shaded portion, which may be the region formed by the maximum receiving distances that may receive the position information of the second device at the left, right, top and bottom of the electronic device.

[0054] For another example, as shown in FIG. 4B, the target region in FIG. 4B may be the shaded portion, which may be also the region formed by the maximum receiving distances that may receive the position information of the second device at the left, right, top and bottom of the electronic device. The second device A may be in the target region. The second device A may be in the region within the upper screen expansion boundary (i.e., the maximum position that the screen of the electronic device may expand). Therefore, the spatial position of the second device A may be determined based on the position information of the second device A, and then the screen of the electronic device may expand to the spatial position where the second device A is located. The second device B may not be in the target region, such that no processing may be performed. It should be noted that in response to that the second device is within the maximum receiving distance above the electronic device but exceeds the screen expansion boundary, the screen of the electronic device may be controlled to expand to the screen expansion boundary. Similarly, in response to that the second device is within the maximum receiving distance below the electronic device but exceeds the screen contraction boundary (i.e., the minimum position that the screen of the electronic device may contract), the screen of the electronic device may be controlled to contract to the screen contraction boundary.

[0055] In one embodiment, the spatial position of the second device may be determined based on the coordinate system established by the electronic device, and the electronic device may establish the coordinate system with the lower left corner of the electronic device as the origin. The spatial position of the second device may be determined based on the coordinates of the second device in the coordinate system. In other embodiments, any other method capable of determining the spatial position of the second device may also be used.

[0056] For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the target region in FIG. 5 may be the shaded portion, which may be also the region formed by the maximum receiving distances that may receive the position information of the second device at the left, right, top and bottom of the electronic device. The electronic device may be 6 cm wide and 15 cm high. The coordinate system may be established with the lower left corner of the electronic device as the origin. Therefore, the position of the second device A in the coordinate system may be (7, 16). Based on above-mentioned data, the spatial position of the second device A may be determined to be 1 cm to the right and 1 cm above the electronic device. The second device B may be not in the target region and exceed the maximum receiving distance of the electronic device. Therefore, the spatial position of the second device B cannot be determined.

[0057] It should be noted that it may also configure that the target operation may be determined based on the position information of the second device in response to determination that the second device is in the target region for more than a preset time or determination that the trajectory formed by the movement of the second device in the target region conforms to the trajectory of a preset gesture.

[0058] At 103, the target operation may be executed, and the target operation may be configured to control the electronic device to change attitude.

[0059] For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, the electronic device may detect that the second device is in the target region; the position information of the second device may be obtained; and based on the position information, it may determine that the spatial position of the second device is at the position shown by the dotted line in FIG. 6A and within the screen expansion boundary of the electronic device. Therefore, it may determine that the target operation may be to expand the screen of the electronic device to the spatial position where the second device is located. As shown in FIG. 6B, the screen of the electronic device may expand to the spatial position where the second device is located.

[0060] In above-mentioned solution, whether the second device is in the target region may be determined by obtaining the position information of the second device; in response to that the second device is in the target region, the target operation may be performed to change the attitude of the electronic device, which may realize intelligent control of the electronic device and significantly improve the user experience.

[0061] An electronic device control method is also provided in one embodiment pf the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, the control method may further include following exemplary steps.

[0062] At 201, based on the position information of the second device, the first trajectory of the second device in the target region may be determined. The first trajectory may be determined according to the first manner. The first trajectory may be the spatial trajectory of the second device.

[0063] In one embodiment, the first manner may be obtaining the spatial position of the second device through the position information of the second device and determining the first trajectory of the second device in the target region based on the spatial position of the second device.

[0064] The first trajectory may be completed when the second device is not in contact with the electronic device (that is, the second device does not touch the screen of the electronic device).

[0065] At 202, based on the position information of the second device, the second trajectory of the second device in the target region may be determined. The second trajectory may be determined according to the second manner. The second trajectory may be the trajectory of the second device being in contact with the electronic device and moving relative to the electronic device. The first manner may be different from the second manner.

[0066] In one embodiment, the second manner may be obtaining the pressure information between the second device and the screen of the electronic device through the position information of the second device and determining the second trajectory of the second device in the target region based on the pressure information between the second device and the screen of the electronic device.

[0067] The second trajectory may be completed when the second device is in contact with the electronic device (i.e., the second device touches the screen of the electronic device).

[0068] The target operation may be determined based on the position information in response to a satisfaction of at least one of the following conditions: determining that the first trajectory is a preset trajectory and determining that the second trajectory is a preset trajectory.

[0069] In response to that the first trajectory is the preset trajectory, the second trajectory is the preset trajectory, or both the first trajectory and the second trajectory are the preset trajectory, the target operation may be determined based on the position information.

[0070] It should be pointed out that the target operation may be determined based on the position information also in response to that the third trajectory formed by combining the first trajectory and the second trajectory is the preset trajectory. The preset trajectory corresponding to the first trajectory, the preset trajectory corresponding to the second trajectory, and the preset trajectory corresponding to the third trajectory may all be same or different. In addition, there may be multiple preset trajectories corresponding to the first trajectory, multiple preset trajectories corresponding to the second trajectory, and multiple preset trajectories corresponding to the third trajectory; and different preset trajectories may correspond to different target operations.

[0071] For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the shaded portion in FIG. 8 may be the target region; and the preset trajectories corresponding to the first trajectory may be two, that is, a straight line in an upward direction and a straight line in a downward direction. The first trajectory of the second device A may be determined to be the straight line in the upward direction, such that the target operation may be determined to expand the screen of the electronic device to the spatial position where the second device is located (i.e., the upper dotted line position in FIG. 8). The first trajectory of the second device B may be determined to be the straight line in the downward direction, and the spatial position of the second device B after movement may be below the screen contraction boundary, such that the target operation may be determined to contract the screen of the electronic device to the screen contraction boundary position (i.e., the lower dotted line position in FIG. 8).

[0072] In above-mentioned solution, by setting the preset trajectory, when determining that the first trajectory of the second device is the preset trajectory, the second trajectory is the preset trajectory, or both the first trajectory and the second trajectory are the preset trajectory, the target operation may be determined based on the position information of the second device, which may effectively prevent the screen of the electronic device from being moved incorrectly when the second device is detected incorrectly and further improving the intelligence of controlling the electronic device.

[0073] An electronic device control method is also provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. Determining whether the second device is in the target region based on the position information of the second device may include that, in response to determination that the second device is at least in the first region based on the position information, determining that a determination result may characterize the second device to be in the target region. The first region may not include the display region of the electronic device.

[0074] As shown in FIG. 9A, the shaded portion in FIG. 9A may be the first region, which may be the region formed by the maximum receiving distances that may receive the position information of the second device at the left, right, top and bottom of the electronic device. The first region may not include the display region of the electronic device.

[0075] In one embodiment, the second device may not be in contact with the screen of the electronic device, such that the position information of the second device may be obtained by receiving the signal of the second device through the connection established with the second device.

[0076] In above-mentioned solution, the position information of the second device may be obtained by receiving the signal of the second device through the connection established with the second device, and it may determine that the second device is in the first region based on the position information. Therefore, the second device may be determined to be in the target region, and corresponding target operation may be determined based on the position information, which may further improve the intelligence of controlling the electronic device.

[0077] An electronic device control method is also provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. Determining whether the second device is in the target region based on the position information of the second device may include that, in response to determination that the second device is at least in the display region of the electronic device based on the position information, determining that the determination result may characterize the second device to be in the target region.

[0078] As shown in FIG. 9B, the rectangular region in FIG. 9B may be the display region of the electronic device. In FIG. 9B, the shaded portion illustrates a preset distance, which may be the farthest distance that the electronic device may expand to, and the preset boundary may be the boundary of the electronic device without expansion. The display region of the electronic device may change along with the expansion or contraction of the electronic device.

[0079] In one embodiment, when the second device is in contact with the screen of the electronic device, the position information of the second device may be obtained through a touch screen signal of the second device on the electronic device.

[0080] In above-mentioned solution, the position information of the second device may be obtained through the touch screen signal of the second device on the electronic device, and it may determine that the second device is in the display region of the electronic device based on the position information. Therefore, the second device may be determined to be in the target region, and corresponding target operation may be determined based on the position information, which may further improve the intelligence of controlling the electronic device.

[0081] An electronic device control method is also provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 10, executing the target operation may include following exemplary steps.

[0082] At 301, the target position may be determined based on the determination result, and the determination result may be whether the second device is in the target region.

[0083] In response to that the second device is in the first region, the target position of the second device may be determined by the spatial position of the second device.

[0084] In one embodiment, the spatial position of the second device may be determined based on the coordinate system established by the electronic device, and the electronic device may establish the coordinate system with the lower left corner of the electronic device as the origin. The spatial position of the second device may be determined based on the coordinates of the second device in the coordinate system. In other embodiments, any other method capable of determining the spatial position of the second device may also be used.

[0085] For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the target region in FIG. 5 may be the shaded portion, which may be also the region formed by the maximum receiving distances that may receive the position information of the second device at the left, right, top and bottom of the electronic device. The electronic device may be 6 cm wide and 15 cm high. The coordinate system may be established with the lower left corner of the electronic device as the origin. The position of the second device A in the coordinate system may be (7, 16). Based on above-mentioned data, the spatial position of the second device A may be determined to be 1 cm to the right and 1 cm above the electronic device. However, the second device B may be in the target region, which may exceed the maximum receiving distance of the electronic device. Therefore, the spatial position of the second device B cannot be determined.

[0086] In response to that the second device is in the display region of the electronic device, since the second device is in contact with the screen of the electronic device, the target position of the second device may be directly obtained through the touch screen signal of the second device on the screen of the electronic device.

[0087] At 302, the electronic device may be controlled to change attitude, such that the edge of the display region of the electronic device may be adjusted to the target position, where the position information may at least include the movement direction of the second device, and the adjustment direction of the edge may be related to the movement direction of the second device.

[0088] For example, as shown in FIG. 11A, the shaded portion in FIG. 11A may be the first region. Based on the spatial position of the second device, the target position of the second device may be determined to be the position shown in FIG. 11A, which may not exceed the screen expansion boundary; and the second device may move to the target position through the first trajectory shown in FIG. 11A (the movement direction is upward). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11B, the screen of the electronic device may expand to the spatial position where the second device is located.

[0089] For another example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the shaded portion in FIG. 12A may be the first region. Based on the spatial position of the second device, the target position of the second device may be determined to be the position shown in FIG. 12A, which may exceed the screen contraction boundary; and the second device may move to the target position through the first trajectory shown in FIG. 12A (the movement direction is downward). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12B, the screen of the electronic device is contracted to the screen contraction boundary.

[0090] In above-mentioned solution, the target position of the second device may be determined based on the determination result. Next, the electronic device may be controlled to adjust the edge of the display region to the target position based on the movement direction of the second device. The expansion and contraction of the electronic device may be intelligently controlled by the movement direction of the second device, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0091] An electronic device control method is also provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 13, the control method may include following exemplary steps.

[0092] At 401, in response to determination that the electronic device is in the first state, the electronic device may be controlled to change attitude, such that the edge of the display region of the electronic device may be adjusted to the target position. The first state may characterize that the output apparatus of the electronic device may perform the first operation.

[0093] For example, as shown in FIG. 14A, the edge of the display region of the electronic device in the first state may be not adjusted to the screen expansion boundary (the dotted line in FIG. 14A). At this point, the electronic device may be controlled to perform the first operation to adjust the edge of the display region of the electronic device to the target position of the second device.

[0094] At 402, in response to determination that the electronic device is in the second state, the electronic device may be controlled to change attitude, such that the edge of the display region of the electronic device may be adjusted to the target position. The second state may characterize that the output apparatus of the electronic device may perform the second operation. The first operation may be different from the second operation. The display region after performing the first operation may be greater than the display region before performing the first operation; and the display region after performing the second operation may be smaller than the display region before performing the second operation.

[0095] For example, as shown in FIG. 14B, the edge of the display region of the electronic device in the second state may be not adjusted to the screen contraction boundary (the dashed line in FIG. 14B). At this point, the electronic device may be controlled to perform the second operation to adjust the edge of the display region of the electronic device to the target position of the second device.

[0096] It should be noted that the screen expansion boundary and screen contraction boundary of the electronic device may be not on all four sides or only on one side, which may be determined based on the function of the electronic device.

[0097] In above-mentioned solution, boundaries may exist when the electronic device performs the operation of expansion or contraction. Therefore, when the electronic device is determined to be in the first state, the electronic device may be controlled to perform the first operation to adjust the edge of the display region of the electronic device to the target position of the second device. When the electronic device is determined to be in the second state, the electronic device may be controlled to perform the second operation to adjust the edge of the display region of the electronic device to the target position of the second device. In such way, the electronic device may be prevented from being damaged by the output apparatus continuing to operate when the electronic device cannot perform the first operation or the second operation, whereby improving the stability and usability of the electronic device control method.

[0098] An electronic device control method is also provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 15, the control method may at least further include one of the following exemplary steps.

[0099] At 501, after the target operation is completed, the target trajectory corresponding to the first trajectory may be displayed in the display region of the electronic device after the attitude is changed.

[0100] For example, as shown in FIG. 16A, the second device may move in the display region of the electronic device and draw the trajectory A. After the target operation is completed, the target trajectory corresponding to the trajectory A may be synchronously displayed in the display region of the electronic device.

[0101] At 502, in response to that the target operation is being performed, the target trajectory corresponding to the first trajectory may be displayed in the display region that changes with the attitude of the electronic device. In response to that the target trajectory cannot be fully displayed, the target trajectory may be stored. The target trajectory may be the mapping trajectory of the first trajectory on same horizontal plane of the output apparatus of the electronic device.

[0102] For example, as shown in FIG. 16B, the second device may move in the display region of the electronic device; and after drawing trajectory A, the second device may continue to move and draw the trajectory B. The target operation may be to expand the screen of the electronic device. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16C, the target trajectory corresponding to the trajectory may be displayed in the expanding display region of the electronic device. As shown in FIG. 16D, in response to that the electronic device has expanded to the maximum and cannot expand further, and the second device may continue to move and draw the trajectory C. The trajectory C may exceed the display region of the electronic device, such that the trajectory C may be stored.

[0103] It should be noted that the target trajectory may be the mapping trajectory of the first trajectory on same horizontal plane of the output apparatus of the electronic device. In response to the height of the second device changes, it may indicate that the first trajectory has been drawn.

[0104] In above-mentioned solution, by obtaining the first trajectory drawn by the second device on same horizontal plane as the output apparatus of the electronic device, corresponding target trajectory may be determined and synchronously displayed in the display region of the electronic device, and the target trajectory may be synchronously displayed in the display region added after the screen of the electronic device is expanded, thereby improving the usability of the electronic device. By storing the trajectory that exceeds the display region of the electronic device after the electronic device expands to the maximum, when the screen is not large enough to meet the user's drawing needs, the content drawn by the user after leaving the screen of the electronic device under set circumstances may be saved for the user to process subsequently, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0105] An electronic device control method is also provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 17, the control method may at least further include one of the following exemplary steps.

[0106] At 601, in response to determination that the second device is in contact with the output apparatus of the electronic device, the trajectory may be determined using at least one of the first manner and the second manner.

[0107] Whether the second device is in contact with the output apparatus of the electronic device may be determined by whether the screen of the electronic device receives the touch screen signal. In response to determination that the second device is in contact with the output apparatus of the electronic device, the trajectory of the second device may be determined by the spatial position of the second device; or the trajectory of the second device may be determined by the touch screen signal of the second device on the electronic device.

[0108] For example, in response to determination that after the second device is in contact with the output apparatus of the electronic device, the second device moves to the edge of the output apparatus and continues to move outside the edge of the electronic device, the trajectory of the second device may be determined by combining the touch screen signal of the second device on the electronic device and the spatial position of the second device. The trajectory of the second device may also be determined entirely by the spatial position of the second device.

[0109] At 602, in response to determination that the second device is in the display region of the electronic device, the first manner and the second manner may be switched.

[0110] In response to determination that the second device is in the display region of the electronic device, the second device may be in contact with the output apparatus of the electronic device.

[0111] For example, as shown in FIG. 18A, the second device may be in the display region of the electronic device, and the second device may be in contact with the output apparatus of the electronic device. At this point, the trajectory of the second device may be determined by the touch screen signal generated by the contact between the second device and the output apparatus of the electronic device.

[0112] For another example, as shown in FIG. 18B, the second device may be in the display region of the electronic device, but the second device may not be in contact with the output apparatus of the electronic device. At this point, the trajectory of the second device may be determined by the spatial position of the second device.
